I wonder if that's a legal liability with bricked Carbon Monoxide sensors.

  For whatever other issues people are rightly concerned about - when sensors like this 'brick', it's just the weird superfluous cloud features that are turned off and the core functionality still works fine. Though on the smoke detectors, modern code is that they all need to communicate and alarm at once, so depending on how that's architected on the Nest devices, could prove problematic to lose all of that.

    That sounds like class-action lawsuit levels of bad. That being said, I'm actually not that worried about Nest getting killed.

      They already forced a transition through several apps (Google Wifi, Nest, Home) and shut down some product lines (Nest Secure).

    Alarm interconnect has to be local; I don't think it would code-compliant anywhere otherwise. (Even wireless interconnect has only become code-compliant relatively recently - e.g. in my jurisdiction, code has only allowed wireless interconnect since 2019.)
